'''Tegla Chepkite Loroupe''' (born 9 May 1973) is a former Kenyan [[Long-distance track event|long-distance track]] and [[road running|road]] runner. She is also a global spokeswoman for peace, [[women's rights]] and education. Loroupe holds the [[world record]]s for 25 and 30 kilometers and previously held the world [[marathon]] record. She was the first African woman to hold the marathon World Record, which she held from 19 April 1998 until 30 September 2001. She is the three-time [[IAAF World Half Marathon Championships|World Half-Marathon champion]]. Loroupe was also the first woman from Africa to win the [[New York City Marathon]], which she has won twice. She has won marathons in London, [[Rotterdam]], Hong Kong, [[Berlin]] and Rome.

In 2016, she was the person organizing the Refugee Team for the [[2016 Summer Olympics]] in Rio.<ref name=nyt/>

==Biography==
Tegla Loroupe was born in Kapsait village in the Lelan division of [[West Pokot District]]. It is situated in the [[Great Rift Valley, Kenya|Great Rift Valley]], approximately 600 kilometres north of [[Nairobi]]. Her father and mother are from the [[Pokot people|Pokot]] tribe, a [[Nilotic peoples|Nilotic]] ethnic group inhabiting parts of northern [[Kenya]], eastern [[Uganda]] and southern [[Ethiopia]].<ref name=nyt>[https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/05/sports/olympics/tegla-loroupe-gives-refugee-olympians-a-lesson-in-hope.html?_r=0 Tegla Loroupe gives Refugee Olympians A Lesson in Hope], Jere Longmam. 4 August 2016, NYTimes, Retrieved 11 September 2016</ref>

Loroupe was told by her father that she was useless and her career might be babysitting.<ref name=nyt/> She grew up with 24 siblings. The Pokots being a [[polygamy|polygamous]] culture, her father had four wives. She spent her childhood working fields, tending cattle and looking after younger brothers and sisters.

At the age of six, Loroupe started school at Kapsait Elementary school; she had to run ten kilometers to and from school every morning. At school, she became aware of her potential as an [[sportsperson|athlete]] when she won races held over a distance of 800 or 1500 meters against much older students. She decided to pursue a career as a runner. However, she was not supported by anyone but her mother.
[[File:Loroupe, Tegla.JPG|thumb|left|Loroupe in 2007 at a meet in [[Schortens]], Germany.]]
The Kenyan athletics federation, [[Athletics Kenya]], did not support her at first, thinking Loroupe too small and too thin. However, after she won a prestigious [[Cross-country running|cross country]] barefoot race in 1988, this changed. She began to train to compete internationally the following year, earning her first pair of running shoes in 1989, which she wore only for particularly [[hazard|rough]] races. She was nominated for the junior race of the [[1989 IAAF World Cross Country Championships]] finishing 28th. She competed again at the [[1990 IAAF World Cross Country Championships]], finishing 16th in the junior race.

In 1994 and 1998, Loroupe won the [[Goodwill Games]] over 10,000 metres, [[barefoot running|barefoot]]. Over the same distance she won [[bronze medal]]s at the [[World Athletics Championships]] in [[1995 World Championships in Athletics|1995]] and [[1999 World Championships in Athletics|1999]].

In 1994, Loroupe ran her first major [[marathon (sport)|marathon]] in New York. Running against the world's strongest competition, she won. As a consequence she was [[idolatry|idolised]] by many young people in Africa: at last, a woman champion to complement the many successful male runners. She won the New York City Marathon again in 1995 and finished 3rd in 1998.

Between 1997 and 1999, she won three world titles a row over the half marathon distance. She won [[Rotterdam Marathon]] three times between 1997 and 1999. She won [[Berlin Marathon]] in 1999 and finished second in 2001. She finished second at the 1999 [[Osaka International Ladies Marathon]].
 
Loroupe won the [[Zevenheuvelenloop]] 15K race in the Netherland three times (1992, 1993 and 1998).
She is a seven-time [[Egmond Half Marathon]] winner (1993–1998, 2000). She has won the [[Lisbon Half Marathon]] a record six times: 1994–1997, 1999 and 2000.<ref>[https://www.arrs.run/HP_LisHM.htm Lisbon Half Marathon winners]. Arrs.net (22 March 2016). Retrieved on 11 September 2016.</ref> She has won the [[Tilburg Ten Miles|Tilburg road race]], a five times (1993, 1994, 1996, 1998, 1999), also a record number. She won the [[Paris Half Marathon]] in 1994 and 1998,<ref>[https://www.arrs.run/HP_ParisHM.htm Paris Half Marathon – List of Winners]. Arrs.net (7 March 2016).

During the [[2000 Summer Olympics]] in Sydney, favoured to win both the marathon and the 10,000 meters, she suffered from violent food poisoning the night before the race. Nevertheless, she fought through the marathon race, finishing 13th, then, the next day, ran the 10,000 metres, finishing 5th,<ref name=sr/> running barefoot in both races, a feat she later stated she achieved out of a sense of duty to all the people taking her as a bearer of hope in her home country. Until the end of 2001, she continued to suffer from various health problems.

In 2000, she won [[London Marathon]] and [[Rome City Marathon]]. She also won [[Lausanne Marathon]] in 2002, [[Cologne Marathon]] in 2003 and [[Leipzig Marathon]] in 2004.

Loroupe competed at the [[2005 World Championships in Athletics - Women's Marathon|2005 World Championships marathon race]] in Helsinki, [[Finland]], but finished only 40th. In February 2006 she won the Hong Kong Half-Marathon. The same year she finished 5th in the Rotterdam Marathon and 2nd in the [[Venice Marathon]]. In 2007, she participated again the New York City Marathon, finishing 8th.

Loroupe's biggest successes include world records over 20, 25 and 30 kilometers as well as the past record over the marathon distance. She used to hold the [[Hour run|One Hour]] running [[World records in athletics|World record]] of 18,340&nbsp;m set in [[Borgholzhausen]], Germany, but the record was broken by Dire Tune of Ethiopia ten years later, in 2008 (new record 18,517&nbsp;m).<ref>IAAF, 12 June 2008: [http://www.iaaf.org/GP08/news/kind=100/newsid=45290.html Robles 12.87 World Record in Ostrava! – IAAF World Athletics Tou]</ref>

In 2006, she was named a United Nations Ambassador of Sport by Secretary General [[Kofi Annan]], together with [[Roger Federer]], tennis champion from Switzerland, [[Elias Figueroa]], Latin American soccer legend from Chile, and [[Katrina Webb]] paralympics gold medalist from Australia. She is an International Sports Ambassador for the IAAF, the [[International Association of Athletics Federations]], and for [[UNICEF]].

In 2003, Loroupe created an annual series of Peace Marathons sponsored by the Tegla Loroupe Peace Foundation "Peace Through Sports". Presidents, Prime Ministers, Ambassadors and government officials run with warriors and nomadic groups in her native Kenya, in Uganda and in Sudan, to bring peace to an area plagued by raiding warriors from battling tribes. In 2010 the Kenyan Government lauded her achievements as hundreds of warriors had laid down their weapons.<ref>{{cite news | first = Osinde | last = Obare | title = Loroupe seduces 700 Pokot warriors to give up guns for peace | date = 14 November 2010 | url = http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/politics/InsidePage.php?id=2000022436&cid=159 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120329115933/http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/politics/InsidePage.php?id=2000022436&cid=159 | url-status = dead | archive-date = 29 March 2012 | work = The Standard | access-date = 21 November 2010 }}</ref>

She has established a school ([[Tegla Loroupe Peace Academy]]) and orphanage for children from the region in [[Kapenguria]], a high-mountain town in north-west [[Kenya]].

The 2006 Peace Marathon was held on 18 November 2006, in [[Kapenguria]], Kenya. Two thousand warriors from six tribes competed. The next Peace Marathon was 15 November 2008 in Kapenguria, Kenya.  National ambassadors to Kenya participated, together with the Prime Minister, and several Kenyan, Tanzanian, and Ugandan Ministers. The Peace Marathon has been held each year since then, with the exception of the past two Covid years. Winners of the races often begin professional training in long-distance running, or join the training team of ex-warriors.

In February 2007, she was named the [[Oxfam]] Ambassador of Sport and Peace to Darfur.  In December 2006, she travelled with [[George Clooney]], [[Joey Cheek]], and [[Don Cheadle]] to Beijing, Cairo, and New York on a diplomatic mission to bring an end to violence in Darfur. She won the "Community Hero" category at the 2007 [[Kenyan Sports Personality of the Year]] awards.<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20080913034301/http://soyaawards.com/winners.html SOYA Awards – 2007 winners]}}.
